Abstract
A plasma interaction simulator is presented. The simulator magnetically induces multiple distinct flows of plasma within a physical plasma vessel. The plasma flows collide with each other at flow interaction boundaries where discontinuities arising due to differences between the flows give rise to interactions. Sensors can be incorporated into the plasma simulator to observe and collect data about the plasma flow interactions.
Claims15
A plasma flow simulator, the simulator comprising
- a plasma vessel containing a plasma and having an at least partially rounded interior surface, an upper portion and a lower portion;
- conducting loops disposed around at least a portion of the plasma vessel, the conducting loops including a first conducting loop substantially orthogonal to a second conducting loop and configured to yield magnetic fields that magnetically induce a first toroidal plasma flow in the upper portion of the plasma vessel, and a second toroidal plasma flow in the lower portion of the plasma vessel;
- and
- wherein at least one of the first and second conducting loops is disposed around an entire circumference of the plasma vessel.
